Lionel Messi finally broke his silence, amid the two weeks suspension issued by PSG for failing to show up to practice because of what his camp had described as a commercial obligation in Saudi Arabia.

The situation of Messi at PSG hit fever pitch when PSG fans went to the home of the Argentine and cursed and demanded he leave the club. The same scenario occurred at Neymar’s house as well, as PSG fans are upset with the club’s current direction.

Taking to Instagram and posting a video, the Argentine international apologized to his PSG teammates and doubled down on his future as he left the decision of what comes next in the hands of PSG.
